September 9, 2024 at 9:42 amShe has picked up words, ways of communicating, and a remarkable attitude from her time there, and she very obviously enjoys being with all of the carers and team there. My daughter has been at this childcare centre for 1.5 years now, and we have seen her blossom, both socially and in her hard skills.

October 6, 2024 at 6:15 amThe room my kid is in is led by a fantastic team of childcare centre team, consistently there to reassure and assistance the kids. I hope they continue to provide such a welcoming and nurturing setting for years to come. I think this particular childcare centre is absolutely lovely, led by the manager who never ceases to smile and say hello every time myself or my kid is there.

October 18, 2024 at 7:10 amI was incredibly anxious and scared about this step and genuinely didn’t think I would ever come around to the idea of a childcare centre. Since attending, my daughter’s development has come on so much. For example, as a baby born in early 2021, she still wasn’t exposed to crowds of people due to restrictions and our own worries – but since joining the childcare centre, her social development has improved significantly. She is confident and chatty, and it makes us so proud to see her enter a room and smile.
The team are incredible – every person says hello to my little girl and knows her by name (they do all the kids) whether they work in her room or not. They encourage kids, they are nurturing, and they are all so great at what they do. Thank you for everything, Sunhill. My daughter has been at Sunhill Day Childcare centre since March 2022.

October 25, 2024 at 3:46 pmThe team in sunbeam really makes the settling in as smooth as possible. If needed, cuddles are provided. Since joining, my daughter has become a confident and independent girl. Thank you, sunbeam team. My daughter joined Sunhill in Feb 2022 and she is very cheerful to go to childcare centre every day.

November 9, 2024 at 3:20 pmOur daughter loves attending! They go above and beyond to celebrate all holidays relating to the kids’s backgrounds. Adore getting the daily app updates.
The only opportunity is to have organic milk/food. I think organic milk is at a bare minimum. Remarkable childcare centre.

November 14, 2024 at 8:16 amMy son has come on leaps and bounds and is discovering so much from all the activities they do and the assistance they give him. I would suggest Sunhill Day Childcare centre to any parents with young kids who want peace of mind that their kid is well cared for. All the team at the childcare centre are consistently so welcoming and supportive.

February 27, 2025 at 12:20 pmWe were looking for exactly that. We had visited a few others, but we didn’t sense comfortable, but when we got here, me and my partner just looked at each other and knew that it will be the best for our little one. And we were right; she is so excited to go to childcare centre, and she loves her educators and friends there. It was the best choice. I’m so glad with this childcare centre overall!

February 27, 2025 at 1:21 pmKeeps us well informed of our little ones’ development. They are very attentive and considerate as well. My little one loves going to this childcare centre. Lots of places to explore and run around, plenty of activities, etc. I would definitely suggest this childcare centre to my friends. Very nice team and management.

March 7, 2025 at 12:40 pmThere’s been a couple of instances where something like tonsillitis, hand, foot and mouth has been going around the class, and we’ve not been notified. Being told would help us a lot.
The outside space is nice. Food could be a little more varied.
The girls in the room are nice and inviting.
Would welcome more updates, pictures and moments on the app; this is a bit sporadic. It’s a nice enough childcare centre, and my son enjoys his time there.
Blake Quinn
March 17, 2025 at 11:42 amThe team in the baby room are incredible, and the room leader recently identified an issue with our son’s ears which was impacting his speech that we hadn’t noticed. We are so grateful that she was able to highlight the issue, and our kid is having grommets this month to help him, as a result.
He absolutely loves playing outside in the garden, has a regular nap pattern and eats well whilst at childcare centre. We are so pleased with Sunhill Day Childcare centre and couldn’t have hoped for a better setting for our son.

March 18, 2025 at 5:38 pmConsistently gives thorough information on my kid’s activities. Supportive of a vegan diet. My 17-month-old looks forward to going and can be left without crying (eventually!) very big deal for me as she’s a koala baby! Welcoming, supportive and supportive of development.
Parker Irwin
March 24, 2025 at 5:25 amThe updates we receive on the app show the lovely activities the kids participate in, and it is excellent to keep everything online to keep track of meals, nappies etc.
He has formed a close relationship with his key person and the other members of team within the room.
The free-flow garden is a excellent way for the kids to build their self‑assurance and choices. The room is lovely and spacious to explore different toys/resources. We are very cheerful with the care he receives. My son has thrived from joining Sunhill and has settled extremely well.

April 6, 2025 at 5:49 amThe thing I like most is my daughter runs to get into the childcare centre, and I’ve never had her unhappy to go or picked her up unhappy; she loves it that much, and as a parent, that makes it all the more better! All team are pleasant and approachable, and the manager is also really nice and supportive.

April 22, 2025 at 12:54 amMy little one loves coming to childcare centre. Excellent activities every day and has learnt and developed so much since starting childcare centre.
She is well looked after and enjoys playing with all the kids.
The team are very attentive and consistently cheerful to help. Really lovely and attentive members of team.

April 30, 2025 at 12:49 amThe team clearly care a lot about the kids! And my son has built some incredible relationships with them. He’s come on leaps and bounds since being at Sunhill. Thank you, everyone! Consistently made myself and my kid sense welcome and very accommodating when it is needed, especially if I have needed extra hours; they try their best to do this.
Arden Randall
May 10, 2025 at 5:46 amI really appreciated the way they helped her (and even me) to go through this. Now she enjoys her time in the childcare centre, having new friends and discovering new things. Consistently very supportive and supportive to my daughter, who took quite a long to settle.
Alex Brooks
May 26, 2025 at 2:29 amThey are very well cared for, the team are patient and compassionate, and they sense loved. They have learned lots of new things since they started attending, and they are sad to go home when I come to collect them. I suggest this childcare centre wholeheartedly. My sons are both at this childcare centre, and I can only say a big thank you to everyone!
Jamie Delaney
June 1, 2025 at 8:35 pmEvery member of team takes an interest in your kid and caters to their individual discovering needs and interests. The days are filled with exciting activities, which my daughter loves – including nature walks, painting, dressing up and playing. The parent app is such a great tool as you get access to their daily information, such as meals, nappy changes and photos/videos of your kid’s day.
My kids are really cheerful at Sunhill, thanks to the incredible team! We recently moved to Sunhill from another childcare centre and are so pleased we did!
Cameron Bailey
June 4, 2025 at 8:21 amShe has had a excellent sense of humour, understanding and intelligence since she started attending Sunhill Day Childcare centre.
The school provides a venue for discovering and supports kids in developing a positive behavioural attitude. My kid has improved greatly in every aspect of life.
Dakota Delaney
June 10, 2025 at 7:41 amThey do loads of different activities with plenty of time outside. My daughter is in preschool, and they’ve been discovering early-stage phonics in a way that has really captured her interest and made it enjoyable.
The childcare centre has recently moved to cater for all kids on-site with no packed lunches allowed. I was worried about this to start with (fussy eater), but it’s actually been excellent for my daughter, who now tries and eats more food than she did just a month or two ago. Excellent childcare centre that I would definitely suggest.
The team are compassionate and supportive and really tuned into the individual kids and their needs and personalities.
